Bryce Kelly, family and friends recently set up one of the most elaborate lemonade stands a person is likely to see. Their efforts earned $1,800 for childhood cancer.

What started out as just a lemonade stand when Kelly was 7 years-old, has evolved into a two-day fundraising event that has raised more than $24,000. A toy drive, dunk tank, bounce house, raffle, band and Fredbird complemented the hotdogs and lemonade available for a donation.
